DAVID MOYES is in Florida recharging the batteries and ready to go again – but worried that his Manchester United experience could impact on other British managers.

Moyes, who has a holiday home on Florida’s Gulf Coast, drove to Miami last week to take in England’s friendly against Ecuador.

For the first time since he was a 16-year-old, trying to make his way in the game, he has time on his hands following his Old Trafford sacking.

One thing’s for sure, it won’t be wasted. His appetite for football has not been affected by his Manchester United reign being cut short.

He has already had approaches from two Premier League clubs and another three European sides.

But his desire to work for a Champions League club has meant the 51-year-old Scot continuing what could turn out to be a sabbatical, travelling around the world gleaning more knowledge about the game.

Moyes still maintains he was the right man for the Manchester United job, having served his time at Preston and Everton.

He said: “To do a top job, I believe you have to earn your stripes. The route through to the top for a British manager is a long process and maybe having a job abroad at some of the clubs, and getting recognised for your work there, might be the way in the future.

“But I hope I won’t be the last one to be given a chance to manage one of the top ones.”

Moyes acknowledges that Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool is now alone in flying the ? ag for the British managers who aspire to manage a leading Premier League side.

Moyes feels the answer for any frustrated home-bred manager who can’t see a way through the foreign blockade is to coach abroad.

He said: “The experience I got will stand me even more in good stead in the future. We got into the Champions League quarter-finals and went close to the semi-finals.”

“But I think it’s going to be harder for British managers to get the opportunities at that level and I might now look at taking up one of the opportunities to manage in Europe.

“The Premier League is such a great league that you can feel there’s no need to move. But in the future maybe we’ll need to export, go to other leagues. I think it would give our managers knowledge of other countries.”

If the right job doesn’t come up, then Moyes will travel far and wide.

“I would like to go to Brazil and Argentina and watch what they do there. So many players come out of South America,” he said.

“I’d also like to go and look at the J-League. Places like Japan and Korea have emerging leagues and are producing more players.

“I’m getting ready to work again. It will be the first time since I was 16 that I’m not starting a pre-season. But if a job doesn’t crop up that suits me, I’ll travel.”
